How to get the Perfect Ombre Nails
As you might have noticed from Pinterest, I’m always on the hunt for new nail inspiration. After ombre-ing my hair recently, I came across this amazing ombre nail tutorial. Love! It’s easy enough to try at home, and hits the perfect balance between bold and sophisticated. Check out the tutorial above, and don’t forget to follow my “Nailed It" board on Pinterest for more ideas!
Denim Forever!
Remember back in the day when wearing denim on denim was the ultimate fashion no-no? I do! But it’s safe to say that denim is making a comeback, and I couldn’t be happier. Denim is comfortable, affordable, versatile, and can be paired with pretty much any color or fabric (even more denim)! Flip through below to see some of my current denim favorites:
City of Hope
My Give Back Tuesday this week is dedicated to City of Hope, a Southern California-based research and treatment center for cancer and other life-threatening diseases. City of Hope was recently named one of the top cancer hospitals in the country by U.S. News and World Report for the 10th year in a row! They are an amazing treatment center that can use all the help they can get - every dollar counts. To donate and learn more, click here.
March of Dimes
This Tuesday I’d like to bring some much-deserved awareness to March of Dimes, an organization that helps moms have safe, healthy, full-term pregnancies. They provide support to families when something goes wrong, and also research the problems that threaten the health of babies.
Get involved and learn more about March of the Dimes and the amazing work they do! Head over to www.marchofdimes.org to see how you can become a part of this important cause.
Creative Mornings Begin with the Perfect Latte
Found the easiest recipe for a perfect latte and it only involves 3 ingredients!
1. Almond milk
2. Cane sugar
3. Ginger
I love this recipe because instead of being loaded with caffeine, it has the natural vitamins and soothing effects of ginger. It’s also so simple to make!

Mixing Textures
Mixing textures is one of my favorite ways to add depth and dimension to any look: whether it’s beauty, fashion or even home decor! It’s a fine balance though, so in order to keep things from looking too busy, be sure to stick to a simple color palette when you’re playing with different textures. One of my favorite examples is this nude mani that incorporates a soft base with glitter polish on the tips.

ShoeDazzle Cares
For this week’s Give Back Tuesday, treat your wardrobe to something stylish while giving back to a great cause! I’ve teamed up with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and ShoeDazzle on a wonderful program called #ShoeDazzleCares.
Last year while visiting St. Jude, I met Bailey - one of the strongest, bravest, sweetest girls I’ve ever come across! We sent Bailey one of my favorite Fall shoes from ShoeDazzle so that she could add her own personal touch to them. I’m so impressed with her artwork! I was able to share her masterpiece with everyone at the recent #ShoeDazzleCares luncheon. Bailey’s work was a hit!
Get your hands on a pair of these fall boots and style them to your liking. They’re so comfy and easy to wear with anything. Dress them down for a daytime look or dress them up for a night on the town. As a special bonus, ShoeDazzle is giving out a discount code when they reach 100 re-grams on Instagram. Click here to re-gram the pic and be sure to use the hashtag #ShoeDazzleCares.
All month long, these boots will be raising funds and awareness for St. Jude. ShoeDazzle will be making a donation so that kids like Bailey receive the treatment and care they need!

Knot Your Average Ponytail
There are endless ways to create a unique styled ponytail. This one in particular caught my eye because it’s super simple, but still looks chic and put together. Divide your hair into 2 sections and tie them in a knot (like a pair of shoelaces). Once you have your knot, braid the loose hair once or twice for extra hold and secure it with a pin!
